Umm... unlikely. Unless the actual 'make' executable was in the current
directory (which should only be the case if you are in /usr/bin on a Red
Hat system) './make' won't work. Your PATH should include /usr/bin, you
should have execute permission on /usr/bin/make, and the Makefile should
be in the current directory; then 'make' should work as advertised.
